Data-driven stabilization of nonlinear systems via descriptor embedding

Mohammad Alsalti, Claudio De Persis, Victor G. Lopez +1

We introduce the notion of descriptor embedding for nonlinear systems and use it for the data-driven design of stabilizing controllers. Specifically, we provide sufficient data-dep…

Robust and efficient data-driven predictive control

Mohammad Alsalti, Manuel Barkey, Victor G. Lopez +1

We propose a robust and efficient data-driven predictive control (eDDPC) scheme which is more sample efficient (requires less offline data) compared to existing schemes, and is als…

An efficient data-based off-policy Q-learning algorithm for optimal output feedback control of linear systems

Mohammad Alsalti, Victor G. Lopez, Matthias A. Müller

In this paper, we present a Q-learning algorithm to solve the optimal output regulation problem for discrete-time LTI systems. This off-policy algorithm only relies on using persis…

Notes on data-driven output-feedback control of linear MIMO systems

Mohammad Alsalti, Victor G. Lopez, Matthias A. Müller

Recent works have approached the data-driven design of dynamic output-feedback controllers for discrete-time LTI systems by constructing non-minimal state vectors composed of past…

Data-based system representations from irregularly measured data

Mohammad Alsalti, Ivan Markovsky, Victor G. Lopez +1

Non-parametric representations of dynamical systems based on the image of a Hankel matrix of data are extensively used for data-driven control. However, if samples of data are miss…

On the design of persistently exciting inputs for data-driven control of linear and nonlinear systems

Mohammad Alsalti, Victor G. Lopez, Matthias A. Müller

In the context of data-driven control, persistence of excitation (PE) of an input sequence is defined in terms of a rank condition on the Hankel matrix of the input data. For nonli…
